Clark Students feel underfunded,
question fairness of CBC
by Meaghan Lamarre and Erin
Haick
After a letter was sent to stu­
dent groups informing them of
how much money they received
from the Chartering and Budget­
ing Commission (CBC) and also
of the $17,000 budgeted to be­
come Kyoto compliant , the
March 12 ASLC meeting was
swamped with student group
leaders distressed about their
perceived lack of funding. After
a long and passionate debate, it
was suggested that the student
body vote on whether to pro­
ceed with the CBC's budget or
to move the $17,000 to the Gen­
eral Allocations Board. After an­
other long meeting on March 19,
ASLC Executive Council voted
to uphold the CBC decision.
The March 12 meeting of
ASLC was packed with student
group leaders who were upset by
the decision made by the CBC.
Many leaders of student groups
felt that they had been
underfund ed in order to fund
the Kyoto Protocol. Students ar­
gued that while we had voted to
increase student fees to make LC
Kyoto compliant, it was a vote
to increase student feels, not to
take the necessary $17,000 from
the current budget. Some stu­
dents also suggested that the
CBC process had been unfair
and that student groups had
been disrespected , and some felt
that the budgeting process had
been deSigned to fund Kyoto, no
maller the cost. Dylan Parkins,
Vice President for Budget and Finance, and Lakin Soldate, Vice
President for Student Organiza­
tions, apologized for the confus­
ing letter that was sent to stu­
dent group leaders but defended
the fairness of the CBC process
and the CBC's decisions . They
maintain ed that student groups
were budgeted what CBC
thought that they deserved . Af­
ter an initial amount was de­
cided by the CBC, $28,000 re­
mained in the budget. The
$17,000 allocated to the Kyoto
Protocol was, essentially, left
over after the other groups had
been budgeted.
After nearly two hours of
mostly respectful discussion , a
compromis e was proposed . It
was suggested that ASLC put the
maller to a student vote. Al­
though ASLC was unwilling to
reopen the budgeting process, it
would be possible to move the
$17,000 from the Kyoto fund to
the General Allocations Board
(GAB). That way, student groups
who felt they had been
underfunded this year would be
able to go to GAB next year for
upplemental funds. The Kyoto
Protocol, however, would also
be welcome to apply to GAB for
funding . The proposal was
tabled to be voted on at the sub­
sequent meeting.
The maller was resumed at
the joint ASLClPr ovost's Forum.
After discussion , this time with
three student group leaders, the
Council voted on a motion to
return to the students a vote con­
cerning the future of the Kyoto
funding. With only one vote in
favor of this idea, the motion
failed.
English classes hope to build a connection
betWeen students anld custodial staff
A group of LC students
have begun teaching
English classes for
Spanish speaking people
who clean the College's
buildings.
by Joe Clock
On Wednesday, March 13, a
group of Lewis & Clark stu­
dents began teaching English
classes for employees of Sky­
line, the company that cleans
the college's buildings .
The classes hope to teach
people who work at LC English,
as well as to facilitate more com­
munication between students
and janitors. According to se­
nior Hispanic Studies major
Heather Christie, one of the
planners, "one of the reasons we
wanted to start this class was to
create a connection between the
students and the people who
clean up after us."
Classes are offered Monday through Friday in the afternoons
and from Monday through
Thursday in the evenings. Since
the classes began about twenty
Skyline employees have attended
on a regular basis, and between
thirty and thirty-five have ex­
pressed interest in taking the
classes.
The classes are taught by LC
students, and have one primary
. instructor and several individual
tutors. Students organizing the
program had a training session
with Pam Stern, an ESL teacher
at Helen's View Middle Schoo!.
The classes are divided between
lecture and discussion and small
group work with the individual
tutors.
The Skyline employees are di­
vided into three groups depend­
ing on their level of English. The
group in the most advanced level
is taught entirely in English, and
learns more advanced verb tenses
and works with dictation and
comprehension. The mid-level group is taught mostly in En­
glish and leans conversational
phrases and phonetiCS. The low­
est level is taught mostly in
Spanish, and made up of people
who are nearly or completely il-"----One of the reasons

literate. It works with the alpha­
bet, and basic reading and writ­
ing.
The class's planners hope to
begin to offer classes on week­
ends that would allow the fami­
lies of the current students to at­
tend, and to expand the classes to include computer skills that
could open new job opportuni­
ties for the Skyline employees.
Planners also hope to con­
tinue the classes throughout the
summer , and to establish the
group so that it will be contin­
ued into the next school year.
They hope to either become
chartered or receive funding
from GAB in order to buy work­
books, Spanish/English dictio­
naries, and other supplies for the
classes.
Planning for the classes began
only a month ago, when Christie
was put in contact with a Sky­
line employee that wanted to
apply to LC. About the short
planning period Christie said, "If
we didn't get it done this year, it
wasn't going to happen." Final
planning is still happening as the
classes continue and adapt to
their problems .
A campus-wide e"mail re­
ceived close to 100 responses
from LC students interested in helping with the classes.
Skyline employees have
found out about the classes from
notes that the planners leave
them in the buildings they clean.
The people who clean the build­
ings find the notes, and pass on "----­If we didn't get it
done this year, it
wasn't going to hap­
pen.
Heather Christie ----" information about the classes.
Although currently the only
people enrolled in the classes are
Skyline employees, the group
hopes to open the classes to any­
one who works for the College.
Any students who are inter­
ested in helping with the classes
can contact Christie at
hdc@lclark.edu . Students at all
levels of Spanish are welcome. Cover graphic by Meaghan lamarre

Crew boat £olilides
with fishing boat
by Meaghan Flowers
The crew team recently had a
small boating accident. A novice
coxswain in a men's eight person
boat ran his bow into a moving
fishing boat. The rowers, in the
middle of drills at full pressure
blocked the novice's coxswain's
vision. The fisherman working
on lines at the back of his boat
was also not paying allention to
the direction of his craft. The rowers had to get into the
coach's launch since they were
afraid the boat might sink. The
bow of the crew boat is
crumpled and may not be pos­
sible to fix. All the rowers and
the coxswain were uninjured,
only stunned and shocked. The
team will be getting a "new"
used men's eight person boat on
Monday. Coach Tessa Spillane
declined comment.

Unforgettable Yogi: not your average bear
by Zach Mann & Jesse Garner
"How's your rubber power
today?" is a common question
that has perplexed hungry Lewis
&: Clark students throughout
the years ..
Orange, green, red, and blue,
they come in an array of colors.
An old rumed paper bag is their
home until they are graciously
given away. Reaching into the
bag, a student pulls out a red
one. Slowly, they position it
against their lips and blow.
"The theory behind this is
that the pressure and headaches
of classes are so great that bal­
loons relieve this tension. 1 think
it is a chance for students to ex­
press themselves," said Bon
dishwasher Ted Clarence Jor­
dan, father of the rubberized
gifts and otherwise known as
"Yogi."
Witnessing Jordan make his
rounds during dinner is as fre­
quent as bento being served at
lunch. Although we see him ev-
Under3rad~ ... eryday, many students wonder
who he is and where he is from.
We caught up with this leg­
end and began to discover there
is more to Ted C. Jordan than his
rimmed glasses; balloons, and
hip sense of fashion.
A self-proclaimed "depreSSion
child," Jordan was born in Chi­
cago, lli. in 1939. After the death
of his father at the age of four,
he did not experience the father­
son relationship that he always
dreamed of.
"1 was without a father for five
years until my mom remarried.
1 didn't get to do all the usual
father-son things. 1 didn't go to
the baseball games," Jordan said.
With ajob opportunity in the
West, Jordan was forced to fol­
low the family's plan to start
anew in Seattle, Washington.
There he attended Roosevelt
High School and qUickly estab­
lished himself among his peers
and teammates on the tennis
courts and baseball diamond
where he lettered for three straight years.
"I couldn't catch with my
right hand so I took the mill off.
It must have raised some eye­
brows back
then," said
Jordan. said, "There always seems to be
an interesting conversation
when Yogi sits down at our table
in the Bon."
"Yogi un­
questionably
brings a
little charac-
ter to the
Bon , "
sophomore
Mall Glazer
agreed.
jordan's
inlluence is
not limited
to his place
of work. As a
fanatic Pio-
neer athletic " U n -
usual" is a
word that
many asso­
ciate with
Jordan and
his current
antics. From
giving away
balloons to
talking
about life
with stu­
dents, he is
a constant
source of
friend li.ness
and enter-PHOTO COURTESY OF TED JORDAN supporter,
his presence
and enthusi- "Yogi," a popular presence at
the Bon, strikes a pose
reminiscent of his baseball days. asm is con­
Sistently a
step above tainment
during those monotonous din­
ners at the Bon.
Rusty Lindsay, an LC junior, the rest. Cheering with the pride
of any alum, his trademark
"bark" and seal cries stir the
home crowd and disrupt oppo-
nents.
"It's nice to see his support­
always rooting for the Pios,"
sophomore Mall Zeller said.
Jordan is not content with just supporting athletics, how­
ever. His kind will and calm de­
meanor makes him approach­
able for any student seeking a
good story or an open ear of a
listener.

learning something new. to aid local shelters
by Corey Long
While volunteering at the
Yolanda House, a shelter for do­
mestically abused women and
children, Lewis &: Clark sopho­
more Maggie Sullivan came up
with a great idea.
She could not help but notice
that the only books available to
those at this shelter were
"trashy" romance novels. This
did not sit well with her, so in­
stead of just beingjust complain­
ing, she decided to do something
about it.
Sullivan has teamed up with
Amy Lillis, an LC junior, to be­
gin an "Influential Book Drive."
The purpose of their drive is to
collect new and used books from
people on and around campus
to donate to shelters and transi­
tional schools in the Portland
area.
They ask that people donate
books that have been of inspira­
tional and emotional signifi­
cance to them, so to get a more
rounded collection to share at
the shelters.
"The donation of a book that has influenced you is an exten­
sion of yourself," said Lillis.
"This kind of gift is so benefi­
cialto the communit y. Nothing
can change your life like a good
book."
There are two locations on
campus where a person can drop
off books to be donated: The
college bookstore and Mr. Beans
Coffee Shop, located in Watzek
Library.
The drop boxes are big and
colorful and include labels upon
which you can write your name
and how the book you are do­
nating has been of significance
to you. The drive ends April 4,
so students have the opportunity
to bring books back from home
upon returning from Spring
Break.
Some of the organi~ations
that will benefit from Lillis and
Sullivan's effmts include Opera­
tion Night Watch, Womens Inter­
commu.nity A.I.D.S. Resou.rce,
West Women!; & Childrens Cen­
ter and the Open Meadow Alter­
native School. All donations
would be greatly appreCiated and
put to good use. ~~~==~ Features ~~= p=~=W~LO~~
Rebecca Becker forges her own unique history
by Sierra Jenkins
Rebecca Becker's most strik­
ing quality is her tremendous
energy. The Visiting Instructor in
History at Lewis &;; Clark Col­
lege hums with enthusiasm ror
her subject mat tel', orten nash­
ing a huge smile or laughing
heartily.
She has been known to fall to
her knees during the course of a
lecture, leading classes with a
unique enthusiasm and emo­
tional commitment.
Another unique aspect about
Becker's class style is that be­
cause she is almost entirely dear,
she leads her classes by reading
lips. According to Becker, it has
never gotten in the way or her
teaching.
She can pack two hours or
material into an hour of class,
and in much the same way, she
has packed her lire with experi­
ences.
Becker could be talking about
any subject and suddenly have
a remarkab le story to share rrom
her past. She could recount how
she learned to weave Native
American baskets or how she
studied with Paul Draper, the
dancer who was said to be bet­
ter than Fred Astaire.
Rebecca's lire doesn't fit even
the standard questions of "Where are you from?" and
"Where did you go to schoo!?"

was a simultaneous translator,
and her rather was a former effi­

world and was a proressional

Indeed, Becker grew up in the
theater, which may explain her
expressive nature. She attended
school here and there, taking
classes at thirteen universities
over several years.
One day, she happened to see
a poster in the theater advertis­
ing the GREs, and on a whim she
signed up. She sent her scores pieced together a history or tran­
scripts, and over the summer,
she stayed with her sister in Eu­
gene, Oregon, testing out and
taking 45 units worth or credit
at the University of Oregon.
She began teaching at orth­

of gradualle school, taking over
classes fOlr the head of the de­

Where's the Greek at LC?
by Deborah Harms, Mari
Ushiroda, & Matt Zeller
Have you ever wondered
why there are no rraternities and
sororities at Lewis &;; Clark Col­
lege7 Due to lack or student in­
terest, the Greek systems have
faded away over the past decade.
According to Associate Vice
President of Student Life
Michael Ford, Greek chapters at
LC were active from the late
1950s to the early 1990s. They
were first introduced to the col­
lege by a group or students in­
terested in experiencing a Greek
system.
Unlike traditional Greek
chapters, the six sororities and
fraternities were housed in resi­
dent halls and noors. These liv­
ing arrangements enhanced
their overall experienc e at LC.
Alumnus and rormer Delta Phi
Gamma member, Mims Harris
said, "I thought that was the
strength or our system then, that
we didn't live together, and that
we were integrated with the rest
of the student body."
The Greek system helped plan campus-wide events along
with Student Government and
other organizations . Each sepa­
rate chapter also had several or
their own events throughout the
year.
By 1993, the last rraternity
was asked to leave the residence
halls due to noise violations, "----I think LC would be
taking a step back­
wards to reinstitute
the Greek system.
Mims Harris, former Delta
Phi Gamma member and
lC alumnus ----"
poor behavior, excessive intoxi­
cations, and numerous com­
plaints from other residents. The
rraternity had the opportunity to
relocate off-campus, but never
aCLed upon it and diSSipated as
·a result. There has nOL been a
Greek system since.
Students interested in joining
a rraLernity or sorority arc pro-vided the option to link up wi th
a Greek chapter orr-campus. One
student in particular , Nichole
Alexander , an LC junior, chose
this route and joined an African
American Sorority in Portland,
that includes students rrom
oLher colleges in the area.
"I joined because I wanted to
connect with oLher African
American women who were do­
ing positive things in their com­
munity," Alexander said.
A Greek sysLem may be ben­
eficial ror some students; Harris
believes, however, Lhat the
Greek system has outlived its
usefulness. "I think LC would be
taking a step backwards to rein­
stitute the Greek system," she
said.
Harris believes Lhat the great
variety or student-run organiza­
tions on campus are more than
adequate to nieet the student
needs that the Greek systems
used to rulfill. "1 enjoyed my
Delphi relationships and aCLivi­
Lies, I but 1 I believe my experi­
ence aL LC would have been just
as wonderru l without them," she
said.

Consequently , Becker had to
change her teaching style to ap­
peal to very visual and creaLive
learners.
She Lapped the resources or
the slide library, and continues
to use lots of photographs , paint­
ings, and cartoons in her lec­
tures.
During this time, Becker was
also a dramaturg ror Northlight
Theater in Chicago, an easy
melding of her backgrounds in
hi.story and theater.
In addLion, Becker worked in
theater outreach programs at in­
ner city schools, discussing the
play with studenLs before the
perrormance.
Although Becker spent a year
researching post-Revolutionary
War plays and writing for her
thesis, she never received her
Ph.D. Upon returning rrom her
research, she round that two of the raculty rrom her board had
left, and she was never given her
degree.
During all her years in Chi­
cago, Becker vowed she wouldn't
stay another winter, and, in
spring or '95, she stayed true to
that oath and came to LC, drawn
by the beauty of the Northwest.
"Even if nothing else worked
out, it's sLill so preuy!" she says.
This semester marks Becker's
seventh year at LC. Next year is
the last year orher appointmen't
as a visi.ting instructor. This
semester was supposed to have
been her final one at LC, but her
stay was rortuitously prolonged.
Like the rest or her life, she
hasn't given the immediat e ru­
lUre too much thought. Based on
her past, something extraordi­
nary should just happen along.
"Everything I do has to do
with history. I just do it in lots
of dirferent ways," Becker says.

March 22, 2002 Pioneer Log 5 Arts
Artist personalities displayed at Senior Art Exhibit
by (asia Freitas & Elizabeth Miller
For their senior project,
Lewis & Clark College art ma­
jors submit work to the Senior
Art Display. Work must be com­
pleted by the deadlines and
should be as profeSSional as pos­
sible.
This year, the display opens
in the Art Gallery on April 4. The
gallery will be open from 5:00
pm to 7:00 pm, offering a recep­
tion with refreshments as part of
First Thursda y.
The 23 students to be fea­
tured in the exhibit are:
Katherine Atwood, Cayley Bell,
Ariel A. Brice, Adam Burke,
Elizabeth Ann Cain, jessica
Castillo,joe Cerizo, Elizabeth A.
Crites, Kira Fogarty, Mana
Klepinski, Kelly Knapp, Shelley
Bosche Hedlund, Morgan Law,
Lauryn Esther Manget, Annie
Matson, Mariana Orantes, Aaron
D. Pilcher, Cecily Pingree,
Katherine Roche, Kathryn
Sheehan, Leah Svendsen, Nigel
Tibbles and Tad M. Williams .
The following is a closer look
at three of these seniors. Profiles
will continue in future issues.
Katherine Atwood: abstract
painter
While studying in India dur­
ing her junior year, Kate Atwood
found the inspiration that has
led to six months' work and a
series of fifteen paintings . Kate's
paintings explore East Indian architecture, complex colors and
layers. Her abstract work exudes
intense energy, reminiscent of
India. Her series explores the
presence of an eternal mystery
and force between the physical
and metaphysical worlds in her
life.
Kate has always had an artis­
tic passion, but it wasn't until she
came to LC that she began paint­
ing. Kate said that here she has
never used a style more than
once. "Painting has, for me, been
an unconscious process," she
said.
Before college, Kate devel­
oped an interest in art because
she found support in it that she
lacked elsewhere; to her there
are no wrong answers in art. "Art
works my mind in all sorts of
different ways ... it's my space."
After graduation Kate plans
to return to her home in St.
The image from the card adve
the Senior Art Exhibition Louis to m.ake some money;
from there she wants to return
to India and travel throughout
SE Asia for several months.
When she returns, Kate plans to
paint as much and for as long as
she can. She will probably end
up attending graduate school,
and is particularly interested in
art education and encouraging
the celebration of creativity in
children.
Tad Williams: stone sculptor
Tad Williams knew exactly
what he wanted and how to do
it when he came to LC. Origi­
nally, he thought he would go
into architecture, but he devel­
oped an inl.erest in sculpture
while attending Portland Com­
munity College. He enjoys the
lines of scul pture, and the way
forms react to one another in
space. Sculpture gives him the
challenge he
craves, "All
art is solving
problems," he
says. Al-
though Tad
was always ar­
tistic, he
never really
called his ef­
forts "an" un­
til he decided
to study it and
transferred to
LC to do so.
Tad has
found stone to be the most expressive static
medium in his sculpture; he
loves its light and movement.
This year's senior art exhibit will
feature several of Tad's stone
sculptures. His pieces are largely
inspired by microbiology, as well
as the cellular and natural world,
they embody the push and pull
of forces like gravity. Tad's art­
work is also a social commen­
tary on a similar push and pull
within class structure ; the poor
are always struggling to pull
themselves up, but poverty per­
sists.
After graduation Tad is con­
Sidering starting his own antique
restoration business; he has been
restoring antique frames for 17
years. Tad also plans to continue
making an, and to keep in con­
tact with galleries, doing shows
here and there until he gains no­
toriety and experience. Portland
is a tough place to be a sculptor,
Tad says. "People don't want to
buy sculptures, they want some­
thing framed that they can hang
on their walL" But Tad has never
let a challenge stop him.
Cayley Bell: photographer
As the finale to his
performance as an LC art major
and well known dance
photographer, Cayley Bell will
have six photographs shown in
the Senior Art Exhibit. These
photographs are images from the
fall Dance Extravaganza.
Cayley said he chose all six pieces from this most recent
dance show because he felt some
of his best work emerged there
through his close relationship
with the performers during
rehearsals.
The six pieces were given
titles connecting them back to a
project for his Photography II
class. During that class, as a
solution to his struggles to
balance the colors to print color
film, Cayley began printing
photographs with only one color
developed . The colors available
were red, blue, green, yellow,
magenta, and cyan, the three
primary and complimentary
colors of light. His first project
was to print a dance image in
each of those six colors. He
choose six pieces and named
them for each of these six colors.
"It's like a big extension of my
first project," Cayley said.
Cayley said he seized this
opportunity to document the
dances at LC and to explore
color and motion in dance and
the cross-breed artform that
emerges in dance photography.
He consider it a pleasure and a
privilege to work with the
dancers, combining the art
mediums of dance and
photograph y. Cayley said, "Their
art is completely the inspiration
for mine and so much more than
that. Their artform and being
included in it gave me so much
beauty that I would have
otherwise been without."
A look at the student eli rectors for the one-acts
by Sierra Jenkins & Elizabeth
Miller
Victoria Petterson
Victoria Pettersen, a theatre
major and an English minor, is
directing the student written
one-act, "The Hero Leander." It
is the story of a stranger entering
the lives of the members of a
family, forCing them to face their
wn dystfunction. This is the
first time Pettersen has directed
a production, but she is certainly
not new to the theater.
Pettersen grew up in Tigard
and acted in one-acts and every
mainstage production at her
high school from 10th grade on.
She was too intimidat ed to
audition her freshman year at
LC, so she was on the light crew.
She did lights for three
productions, but really wanted
to get back into acting. "The
actors really get lheir hands in
the process," Pettersen said.
Pettersen acted in the one­
acts last spring, and in" Angels in
America. "
Pettersen took the directing
class last semester, prodUCing a
particularly intense final project.
She wanted to direct the one­
acts, but also wanted to act in
"Angels." The department
allowed her and the other
directors to be involved with
both productions; a busy, but
satisfying experience.
As a director, Pettersen tries
to make sure that, even though
she has a lot of control over the
final product, the actors make it
their own as well. Pettersen
applauds the theater faculty,
whom she calls intelligent and
charismatic. She names the educational process as the most
rewarding part of theater.
"Every time we learn
something new, we get to see it
in fruition on the stage,"
Pettersen said.
Zack Ross
Zack Ross, a junior theatre
major, is directing "727" by
jonas Lerman.
He started in a summer
conservatory
performance
Wonderland " program
of "Alica in
with Sarah
Shaddy-Farneswonh at age 10.
He spent time with summer
programs and communit y
theatre, and immersed himself in
theatre in high school. He began
at LC with a one-act his
freshman ye.ar and has acted in
mainstage plays in the last two
years including "A Month in the
Country, " "Killing Game," and
"Mother Courage."
Ross brings some directing
experience to his current task.
His previous experience
includes Assistant Directing "Big
Love" and working with other
students in high school on
speech and debate competitive
drama events. He also took the
directing class fall semester and
realized he liked directing,
particularl y because of how
organized a director has to be
and how well that suits him.
Ross said he is glad to be
directing "727," instead of one
of the other plays. "The two
main things that really drew me
to it are how clear jonas writes
for his characters and how
[technically] involved the script
was," Ross said. "727" is based
more on monologues than scene
6 Pioneer Log March 22, 2002 work, which requires a different
directing approach.
"727" deals with the history
of a skyjacker, D.B. Cooper, who
gained fame for his airline
escapades in the seventies. Ross
hopes to correctly convey the
historical aspects of the play. "1
hope that we handle it in such a
way that lTIalkes it approachable
to people who otherwise would
not be too keen on the idea of
glorifying a skyjacker'S life,
because in truth that's what
happened thiny years ago. The
nation just kind of got behind
this guy, and they throw a party
every year in his honor," said
Ross. He feels understanding
this piece of history is important,
particularly given the timing.
Ross expects to direct again
next spring, when he hopes to
write and direct-his own work
for his senior project. "It's
something I've always been
interested in because 1 think you
can go really deep into the
material in a way that you don't
have the option to when you're
working with someone else's
material ," said Ross. His current
project is an adaptation of
Margaret Atwood 's "The
Handmaid 's Tale."
Sarah Shaddy-Farnesworth
Sarah Shaddy-Farnesworth is
directing "The Kit Kat
Conspiracy ," by Kristen Forbes,
which may be the one-act
equivalent of "Seinfeld."
Shaddy, a junior theatre
major, participated in theater at
school, and at camps throughout
her childhood. After failing to
get a part in "Into the Woods,"
during her first year at LC she swore she would never do
theatre again. The following
semester she reneged on that
vow when she heard the theatre
department was producing one
of her favorite plays, "The
Actor's Nightmare," a one-act
play by Christopher Durang; this
time she got the pan. Since then
she has been in "Two Rooms,'"
by Lee BleSSing, "Mother
Courage and her Children," by
Bertolt Brecht, and "Angels in
America ," by Tony Kushner.
Initially, Shaddy was terrified
of directing, but took LC's
directing class because it was
reqUired for a theatre major. "For
me one character was enough to
be in charge 01'-memorizing my
own lines and deciding what I
want and have to do on stage is
way too much responsibility
already," Shaddy said. However,
she has grown to enjoy directing.
Shaddy said she loves creating
pictures, and using space as a
means of expression. "I found 1
really liked deciding how to
express certain ideas visually,"
said Shaddy.
At the open reading of scripts
for the one-acts she said she
liked "The Kit Kat Conspiracy"
because it was light and funny.
She admitted it was a play that
she would have loved to be cast
in, and that's probably part of the
reason she chose to direct it.
According to Shaddy, the play
consists of several women
talking about essentially
nothing. "It had a real sense of
energy to it, it was lots of action
and lots of tall-talc type
conversation," she said.
She said she would like to do
more directing, but has no current plans to engage in any
directing projects.
Eric Sammons
A singer for a lifetime, Eric
Sammons's theatre experience
began in high school. He became
interested in theatre after seeing
his sister in "Into the Woods,"
and when he arrived at LC he
opened his theatre experience
with "'Into the Woods."
Although Sammons had
some previous directing
experience, the directing class
made him re-examine directing.
"I assistant directed in the last
show my senior year," Sammons
said, "But I never really thought
of it seriously until taking the
directi ng class." After receiving
positive feedback on his work in
class and hearing directors could
also act in "Angels in America,"
he decided to direct this spring.
Sammons said he loved all of
the shows upon their initial
reading, but is pleased to be
directing "The Liar's Bench," by
. Nick Lantz. He acted in Lantz's
one-act last spring, "William
james was a Protagonist," and
says he has really enjoyed Lantz's
writing. With "The Liar's Bench"
he has been able to direct a show
that relies on language more
than phYSical action. "[Lantz]
has a good grasp of language and
it's interesting to see that applied
to more character roles," said
Sammons.
Sammons says he will
consider directing next spring,
and though he has not decided
what his plans are for after
graduation, he is looking into
gelling an M.F.A. in acting or
directing. ===::::::~======~~ -Nan -trad iti anal students ",~.-, ~o~!;~r Lo~

people 'who do not opt to allend
college right out of high school.
Instead, they take a few years to
so something different.
For me, that was enlisting in
the U.S. Marine Corps. After
serving four years on active duty, I decided I was definitely ready
for college.
Many people have asked me
why I chose LC. The choice was
prelly Simple. I wanted a college
in Portland that would best pre­
pare me for law school.
Allending a small, traditional
(i.e. not many older students)
school has been awkward to a
degree.
At 26, I am older than the vast
majority of the student body.
There are only around 30 stu­
dents that are as old as I am.
Being a nontraditional stu­
dent means that I don't really
have the standard college expe­
rience.

Neverto late to leam
By liz Hummer
Tad Williams will be the
first person in his family to
graduate from college this
May.
This is an important
accomplishment for any
person, but it is especially
meaningful for Williams, 36,
who holds down a job and
maintains a home with his
pamier while completing his
degree in art at LC.
Williams grew up in a
working class family in Utah.
His mother's notion of success
was going to work right out
of high school for 50 years,
then retiring with a pension to
make do. Because of this
family ideal, Williams has
found that going through
higher education "has been an
uphill ballle."
He was forced to leave
Southern Utah State
University due to financial
concerns his first year out of
high school
After working over 30 odd
jobs and moving to Portland
with his partner in 1986,
Wi lliams decided to go back
to school at Portland
Communit y College in the
late-1990s. "I just thought I'll
get back into school and take
some nice little courses ,"
Williams said.
Initially looking into
architecture, Williams found
his passion , instead, in a
sculpture class. Williams
described the moment, "That
was it, this is my bliss, this is
what I love."
Williams has grown in his
sculpture work at LC since
transferring here in fall of
2000. He chose the College for
more than its art program
however.
"I wanted a well-rounded
education, not just an art
education," he explained, "I
wanted to know how the
world works, I wanted to be
able to think. Art school only
teaches you how to make art.
It doesn't teach you how to
think about the world. And I
think that's really important in
making art."
Williams has plenty of
responsibilities besides his
homework. He works at an
antique shop and has a practicum at a gold leaf
restoration business. On top of
work and school, Williams
must put effort into his
domestic responsibilities and
relationship with his partner.
His life has developed a
routine-class in the morning,
work from early afternoon
until 6:00pm, and structured
lime at night for homework,
housework, and personal time,
which always leads to frantic
catching-up on the weekends.
''I'm amazed at all the kids
who say they go out partying
all the time, because I never
have the time," Williams said,
"But that's cool because they
can do that. I have to make a
living. I don't have anybody
supporting me," he added.
Williams also feels
separated from most LC
students because many have
not known the financial
struggles he has faced, such as
going hungry and being on
welfare.
"I truly understand the
value of the education I'm
gelling; without it you don't
get anywhere," Williams said.
The Association of
Nontraditional Students is
helpful in bringing together
kindred spirits who
understand each other's
struggles, but the members are
often pulled in different
directions by various
responsibilities. Consequently,
Williams feels that there is not
a lot of support or
understanding on campus for
non-traditional students.
Williams has found that his
life experiences, including
being openly gay, have made
him very opinionated. "I have
way too much to say; I have to
keep myself in check,"
Williams said, laughing.
His LC experience has also
contributed to William's
inSights. "What I've really
learned here is that we're all
the same, no maller what class
background. We're all just
little balls of insecurity looking
for approval in the word."
Williams has every right to
shed this insecurity come
graduation day, having
overcome hardships to earn his
degree, a concrete product of
his hard work which no one
can take away from him. from home for the first time.
They live in the dorms and es­
tablish friendships that will most
likely last a lifetime.
I lived in an apartment for my

Missy Wear ------"
fj rst year here, and I knew next
to no one the whole year. My
college life consisted of going to
class and going back home.
Even now that I live in the
dorms, there: is still that age di­
vide. I have some good friends
in the donn and on the crew team, but we really can't hang
out or do things together be­
cause they aren't old enough to
go where I can.
Many things that my fellow
students are experiencing for the
first time (i.e. relationships, al­
cohol, etc.), I've already experi­
enced, so I never quite escape
the role of "mentor," a surrogate
mom or Dr. Ruth.
Most students experience
their first real "relationship" in
college. However, when you've
been married and divorced,
though, getting involved with
someone fresh from Mom and
Dad's house is just out of the
question.
I find it interesting in class to
hear some students rage against
the WTO or the absolute neces­
sity of a utopian society.
I just sigh and think, "Ahh
youth, just wait till they get to
the real world and all their grand
ideals get squashed one by one
under the cruel thumb of real­
i ty."
Of course, being on a liberal campus is a different experience
in and of itself. I feel somewhat
alienated here due to the gener­
ally non-supportive altitude to­
wards the military which most
liberals have.
My first year here, there was
a week of activities celebrating
"Coming Out Of The Closet
Week". Then Veterans Day
rolled around and there was
nothing. I remember thinking,
"There are 175,000 Marines.
9,000 are women. I was one, and
I don't even get a nod from the
feminists. "
I do not regret being a non­
traditional student. I see some
students arrive on campus as
blank slates; they seem to absorb
whatever ideas or beliefs the col­
lege gives them and go on their
way. I am glad that I could expe­
rience life and create my own
ideas and perceptions of the
world first, before arriving at col­
lege. This way, the college
doesn't determine who I am, but
only offers me different perspec­
tives.

student-parents at LC
By liz Hummer
There is more than
homework waiting for Margot
Osborn at the end of the day.
The junior Math major at
Lewis &: Clark CoHege faces the
daunting
task of
parenting
her four­
year-old
da ugh ter,
London,
while also
attending
school.
Seeing her
mom in
school has
become so
normal for
London
that sht· could feel involved." Although
her daughter, Sage, is now in
elementary school, Deverman,
27, would still like to see child
care on campus.
Marla Dentino, 30, mother of
six-year-o ld Rayne and junior
SOAN major, agreed. "Some sort before me being a mom,"
Osborn said, to which the others
agreed.
Osborn and Deverman have
earned their way onto the Dean's
List, although they often
sacrifice a social life in order to
fulfill their parental and student
PHOTO BY LIZ HUMMER obligations.
"I would
like to get
more
involved on
campus,
but I have
h e
pressure of
not
overextending
myself,"
Deverman
said.
recently
told her
mother,
"Mom, I
know that Alii Deverman with Sage, Marla Dentino with Rayne, and Margot
Osborn with London enjoy coloring and visiting time in Miller. For
Dentino
this means
t hat ,
unfortunately,
she doesn't
know many
people at
everyo ne
has to go to school"
Osborn, 23, is one of the
small numbeJr of student parents,
fluctuating between five and ten
individuals per year, who attend
LC. Most, like Osborn, have
transferred fJrOm other schools,
such as Portland State Univer­
sity, in search of the academic
challenge and rigor of a liberal
arts college.
The traditional nature of LC,
with most students coming right
out of high school, however,
means that support services for
student parents are minimal.
The lack of campus-based child­
care is particularly challenging.
Alli Deverman, a junior
SOAN major, who remembered
the benefits of on-site child care
at her community college, said,
"It was really nice for me because
I could stop in and see my
daughter whenever I wanted. I of child care, no matter how
little, would at least say the
college is open to student
parents," she said.
The student-parents note,
however, that the Association of
Nontraditional Students at LC is
a wonderful resource.
Sponsored by Bonnie Klees,
Assistant Director of the
Counseling Center, ANTS is a
great way "to meet other people
who are doing the same thing as
you, and find out how they're
coping and balanCing their
lives," Deverman said.
BalanCing the demands of
parenting and college often
means fOCUSing on only one
responSibility at a time.
Homework must wait until the
child is asleep if it does not get
done at school, and weekends
are reserved for family time.
"School goes out the door L C
"Because there aren't more
people my age, I don't feel like I
can relate with a lot of people at
all," she said.
Despite a sense of isolation at
limes, Osborn noted that LC
students are really nice, if a little
surprised, when they see her
with London. "It's funny because
people don't know what to do
with a four-year-old in the
library," she said, laughing.
Though working through
school is extra challenging with
a child in tow, these student­
parents genuinely value their
education; it will end up forging
the future of not only their lives,
but their daughters' as well.
"Getting a degree from here is
going to be extremely
empowering for me, and it's
going to be good for my
daughter as well," Dentino said.

Student group leaders
whine about money
One of the greatest aspects
of this campus is the occasional
brilliance and energy that goes
into the student groups. It is to­
tally enriching to see the suc­
cess of student initiative . Con­
sequently, there is a level of dis­
appointment when this is not
achieved easily. This is part of
why my utter disappointment
in the 'leaders' of LC student
groups led me to great distress
at the conclusion of the March
1211. ASLC meeting. While two
hours was graCiously spent dis­
cussing the concerns over the
recent allocation of $17,000 to
altain Kyoto compliance for the
school, the level of greed and
so Ii psism was au t rageous.
Walking into the meeting,
though I had my own biases in
support of the acquisition of
offsets, I was genuinely con­
cerned with the legitimacy of
the complaints that this was an
unfair decision. Indeed, it is a
lot of money. However, the un­
worthiness of a few left me re­
minded of how spoiled and un­
appreciative we are capable of
being up here on the hill.
The point that burned me
the most was in the end, when
I realized that there had not
been a moment of remorse by
anybody claiming that the
$17,000 should be retracted.
Not one person seemed to be
willing to even admit that there
was some merit to the unbeliev­
able effort it took to get to
where this issue is now, espe­
cially conSidering the fact that
the force of this effort, julian
Dautremont-Smith was sitting
pati~ntly, listening to the unre­
lenting complaints. Dylan and
Lakin did an outstanding job
defending this predicament ,
however, by the end, it seemed
as though most groups merely
wanted more money, not that
they did not have enough.
But the issue is not all
money. It is precedence. I realize
this has potentially dangerous
precedence for not such progres­
sive ideas to gain stronghold.
However , I cannot over-stress the
importance of this precedence set
for the school, for our commu­
nity and for ipstitutions around
the country (a country that re­
fuses to sign onto this important
international treaty) and for the
world. As was demonstrated last
weekend, when Julian was in­
vited to speak at the most presti­
gious environmental conference
in the country on his efforts and,
literally astounded people.
People were ecstatic to hear of
our accomplishments .
It is time for the students of
Lewis & Clark to begin to take
their own initiative of claiming
responsibility for the repercus­
sions of this fortuitou s educa­
tion with such seemingly inex­
haustible resources. I have re­
spect for the commitment of all
the student leaders who at­
tended this meeting, however I
have not seen such creative and
effective actions like this cam­
paign, ever on this campus.
-Amy Harwood Not eve~(one wants more
sex, Mr. Poore
Dear Mr. Poore,
I thank you for stating in your
article "A plea for more sex" that
you are "supposedly " an adult,
because it is obvious that you
aren't. You seem to be suffering
from the delusion that many
freshman have, which is that
college is all about partying ,
drinking and sex. Sure, this
might be true for some people,
but you fail to respect that some
people might not think that's the
best option. I personall y drink
sometimes, but I don't enjoy
spending every Friday and Sat­
urday night either passed out or
on my hands and knees vomit­
ing. Likewise , I understand that
it is in some people's nature that
they don't need any commit­
ment at all to have sex. Most
people, though, find that sex is
better with someone they care
about, or even love. I've done
my share of getting drunk and
making out, and it's not that ful­
filling. I saved my virginity for
someone who I loved and
trusted, and for a relationship
that I knew would last past an
awkward good-bye the next
morning. And, from my experi­
ence and what I've heard from
other people, this is a much
more satisfying way to go. Ac­
cording to one survey (see The
Guide to Gelling It On by Paul
joannides , p. 276) "Both males
and females reported more plea­
sure if they had intercourse for
the first time in a more serious
or long-term relationship than
in a casual or brief one," and
"People who used alcohol dur­
ing their first intercourse re­
ported Significantly less pleasure
and more gUilt than those who
did it sober." Now, those statis­
tics speak specifically or first
times, but you're kidding your­
self if you think that no one at
Lewis & Clark is a virgin. And
besides, I think that they can
carry on to general sex experi­
ence as well.
" Your attitude was
very childish.
" Your attitude was very child­
ish. You sound for all the world
like a virgin who is whining be­
cause no one will sleep with
him, or because he's been turned
down too many times. Whether
this is true or not I don't know,
but that is the impression I gOI.
If you were truly an adult you
would respect that many people
choose not to have casual sex for
a reason, and not push people
to do something that they don't
want to. I would encourage you
to do some thinking about your
sex philosoph y, and maybe to
ask around about it. Do some
research. I think you will find
that most people will agree that
your ideas aren't very good ones.
I would also like to thank you
for including your name -now
many women will know not to
go out with you if you ask.

8 Pioneer log March 22, 2002 Kyoto worthy of funding
by Erin Haick
In the last two weeks, student
groups have been buzzing with
conspiracy theories and com­
plaints over their allotted piece
of the budget pie. While this is a
time-honored tradition in stu­
dent group budgeting, the recent
outbreak sounds more like a
search for a scapegoat than a pre­
amble to planning next year's
events on an always-limited bud­
get.
When the Board of Trustees
voted down the fee increase to
fund the Kyoto Protocol , they did
so because the additional money
was earmarked for a specific pur­
pose. This should be kept in
mind because a ree increase to
$210 next year, in non-ear­
marked funds, is in the works.
This money will go to the gen­
eral fund, in the same way that
student group fees do, but with
the understanding that the
money will be used for Kyoto.
The complaints coming from
student groups center around a
few points. First, that funding
Kyoto from existing student fees,
rather than raising those fees, was
not the question voted on which
we voted. The corrollary to that
point is that, had Kyoto not ex­
isted, its funding would be di­
vided among the existing student
groups.
The argument that the Kyoto
Protocol was funded at the ex­
pense of student groups is a ri­
diculous one-as has been dis­
cussed over and over again, the
CBC first funded existing student
groups with an appropriate bud­
get, and after this consideration ,
had a budget surplus of $28,000.
$17,000 of this went toward the
Kyoto Protocol, and the rest was
divided up between SAAB, GAB,
and other groups. Keep in mind
that expensive groups like ice
hockey, a $6,000 a year club
sport, chose not to apply, and the
yearbook cut $11,000 .•
Another point raised is that
$17,000 is too much money to
grant a group in its first year.
History proves this point null.
Nothing in the CBC Rules of Pro­
ced ure restricts the amoun t a
group can be funded its first year,
nor should there be. On SAAB's
first year out, they received
$52,000, quite a bit more than
Kyoto, and no one's question ed
whether that was a good idea.
Lastly, some group leaders felt
that they were not represented on
the CBC, or didn't know that the
board's membership was open to
anyone. Frankly, this sounds
more like a problem of willful
. ignorance than a legitmate com­
plaint. Sure, you might wonder
if a student group leader could
join, but one simple question to
the Vice President of SllIdent Or­
ganizations would have cleared
up all confusion. Some respon­
sibility lies with students to edu­
cate themselves about how groups
and the campus operates. Be­
tween mass emails, posters, and
ads in the Pioneer Log, it seems
fair to say that CBC was well-ad­
vertised. It's not their fault if no
one signs up.
What it comes down to is
this-the CBC is, and should be,
a merit-based funding organiza-tion. There seems to be an im­
pression that groups enter the
budgeting process will automati­
cally get their minimum request,
if not more. This is simply not
the case-if the CBC had funded
each minimum , the total would
have been over $500,000, with
an available budget or $330,000.
But this is all a moot point.
CBC is a merit-based funding
body, not your parents who'll
give out as much allowance each
week as you need. A merit­
based system gives appropriate
funds to groups who've demon­
strated they can use them well
and create events that benefit the
campus communit y. Groups
who didn't receive their ideal
funding should now work to the
best of their abilities with their
current funding, and prove to
CBC that they deserve the extra
dollars. By forCing groups to
prove themselves rather than
automatically funding any
amount, the CBC demonstrats a
responsible use of student fees. "-----But this is all a moot
point. eBe is a
merit-based funding
body, not your par­
ents who'll give out
as much allowance
each week as you
need. ----" And even if a surplus is
found, the money doesn't sim­
ply disappear. Rather, it rolls
over into the General Alloca­
tions Board, where it becomes
available all groups.
ASLC did the right thing on
Tuesday when they voted to not
selllthe issue or moving Kyoto's
funds to the General Allocations.
Board. To allow a small but vo­
cal group to linda the weeks of
work by the CBC simply because
they were unsatisfied sets a dan­
gerous precedent for future
years. Instead, those funds were
left with Kyoto, which has
proven over the year, with nu­
merous high-profile campaign s
and educational articles, that
they'll do something good with
the money.
Student group leaders have in
the past two weeks acted like
spOiled children looking for a
scapegoat on which to pin their
financial dissatisfaction. It
shouldn't be a newsnash that
groups don't always get their
ideal budget, and in years past,
the grumbling turns to plans on
how to best utilize the funds
available. This year, because of
Kyoto, groups have a target for
their anger, and remain con­
vincedthat, had Kyoto not been
there, they would have received
their full funding. Just because
the money exists is no reason to
give it away to groups that
haven't proven what they'll do
with it. I realize that this may
have been the first time that
some groups were told "no" (be­
cause Lewis & Clark says any­
thing is pOSSible), but the world
is filled with "no", and the
sooner you learn to function on
limited funds, the belleI'. ~~~~~~~~= ~()rLlI11 ~' ========~ P=ill=~=cr=L~og~
Faculty governance- Are you there,
Time for a revisit God? It's me, James
by Buzzy Nielsen
This month's faculty meeting
demonstrated an unfortunate
and seemingly irreconcilable
rift between the faculty and the
administration. Much of Lewis
&: Clark's faculty feels
disempowered because they do
not have sufficient input in the
selection and renewal of the
Dean of the College, who is also
chair of the faculty and their
primary representative. This is
an important issue that deserves
the proper attention and care
that it has been denied in years
past.
The faculty's call for more
governance in the institution
indicates to me that they do not
feel a sense of ownership and
do not feel they are able to cre­
ate and shape their own aca­
demic program s. This lack of
ownership has widespread im­
plications, not the least of
which is the College's token
problem: retention . If our fac­
ulty does not feel dedicated to
this institution, how can we as
students be expected to feel as
such?
I think that fostering this
sense of ownership and dedica­
tion among faculty and students
is pivotal to creating a thriving
community at Lewis &: Clark.
Faculty (and student) gover­
nance is key to fostering this.
Unfortunately, however, I think
that this issue was clouded by
much of the faculty discontent
with Dean Johnson . Mooney's
reappointment ofJohnson simply
indicates the problem; it is not
the problem itself. Furthermore,
both extremes on this issue seem
to not want true dialogue; they
simply want to affirm and reaf­
firm their stances.
This issue of faculty gover­
nance was brought to li.ght by the
motion proposed during the last
faculty meeting. The motion to
add three elected members to
Mooney's review committee for
Dean Johnson was a quick -and
arguably a poor -fix for a recur­
ring problem. This committee 's
input would have little sway over
Mooney's current decision to re­
appoint Johnson, regardless of
whether it was Mooney's original
committee or the committee pro­
posed by the motion. The Presi­
dent strongly suggested that
Johnson was going to be reap­
pointed when he stated that he
needs to be able to work with the
Dean and that he had already
taken all praises and criticisms
into consideration. Therefore ,
whether the committee had
elected representatives or not, its
input would have little effect over
the decision to reql?point
Johnson as Dean. ~ .~ ...
Mooney madl!'t ;~ood point
during the meeting, though.
The current Bylaws state that it
is his responsibilit y alone to
appoint the Dean of the Col­
lege. Once this was shown, the
motion was·doomed to failure,
at least in spirit: the committee
would have no efficacy in
chOOSing the Dean because Mooney is empowered to decide
without aski~g the faculty. He
made it fairly clear that he had
already taken faculty input into
account through the comments
and letters he already received,
and the committee seemed al­
most a formality. For this reason,

cates to me that they

feel they are able to
create and shape their
own academic pro­
grams. ----" support of the motion seemed
only to succeed in widening the
rift between the faculty and the
administra tion. There was no
truly constructive dialogue go­
ing on; it seemed merely like the
Mooney and the instigators of
this motion stated and restated
their points without listening to
each other. The proposed mo­
tion didn't address the problem
of faculty governance as a whole,
but it certainly flagged it as a
problem.
Mooney's ultimatums -most
notably his threat to leave - and
his appeal to the rules do not jus­
tify the rightness of the faculty's
lack of self-governance . During
the meeting, Mooney voiced his
clear disdain for shared gover­
nance with the faculty, and his
unwillingness to even discuss the
issue. Such unwillingness seems
to undermine the idea of a liberal
arts institution , where free and
equal discussion is to be fostered.
In not appointing the committee
before reappointing Curtis,
Mooney not only reneged on a
promise he made the faculty, but
he was also going against the By­
laws of the American Association
of Universit y Professors which
explicitly states that faculty
should have Significant input in
the choice of Dean. If anything,
this situation demonstrates that
perhaps it's time to review those
Bylaws that delineate the power
structure as such.
"~---... the time has come
to evaluate methods
of truly shared gover­
nance between stu­
dents., faculty, and
admi-nistration.
-=--------" "
Although nothing the faculty is
proposing specifically viofates
those Bylaws, I find it problematic
-and a root of this entire problem
-that the Bylaws do not require
some method of input by the fac­
ulty in chOOSing the Dean; they
allow for situations of mistrust to
arise by not requiring cooperation .
Ten years ago, Mooney asked the faculty and the Board of Trust­
ees to consolidate power in the
position (~f the President. Such
consolida tion of power was nec­
essary given the sorry state in
which the last President left the
College. Such consolidation also
allowed Mooney to accomplish
incredible : things in his decade
here, not the least of which are
Miller, Fidds, Watzek, and the
upcoming Howard Social Sci­
ences bui.lding. However, that
was ten ye:ars ago, even longer in
"real time" if you consider how
far the College has come since
then. The time is ripe to revisit
the issue, but Mooney expressed
his unwillingness to bring this
issue to the Board of Trustees, and
given this inflexibility, the Trust­
ees may b,e the only people who
can force a solution to this prob­
lem. The Bylaws,are the crux of
the issue; the fact that they do not
specifically delineate how faculty
should be involved in choosing
Dean is worrisome , to say the
least; it allows for sticky situa­
tions such as this to happen.
I believe that increased faculty
(and student) governance would
improve Lewis &: Clark. Al­
though I d.on't think the motion
of the last meeting was the best
route to this goal, it seems to me
that there is another possible way
by which the faculty could lobby
for shared governanc e. The Col­
lege Bylaws state that the CAS
faculty has two elected represen­
tatives who attend Trustees meet­
ings. Thes(' positions represent a
huge opportunity for faculty to
elect somt:one whom they feel
truly represents them and who
will voice concerns to the Trust­
ees. Perhaps these representatives
could start a dialogue with Trust­
ees regarding shared governance
and the possibility of specific pro­
visions to include faculty input in
the appointment of Dean,
This CoUege has come amaz­
ingly far since President Mooney
came here, and qluch of the
progress can be solely attributed
to him and his vision. However,
a good lead'r has done hislher job
well when s/he no longer needs
to hold complete administrati ve
power; leadership becomes a pro­
cess shared by many. I am by no
means saying that the President
is no longe:r important -his in­
put is still valuable and his lead­
ership effective -simply that it is
no longer as necessary for so
much administrative power to be
consolidated into his position. It
seems like we're in such a situa­
tion now. M.ooney's leadership
has gotten us far, and his leader­
ship will continue to push us for­
ward, but the time has come to
evaluate methods of truly shared
governance between students,
faculty, and administration . How­
ever, such evaluation can only
occur if all three constituencies
are willing to~ have open minds
and ears. T1~is past faculty meet­
ing has demol)strate d that such
is not the c:asej..,but I hope that
perhaps we can find further meth­
ods to make this process truly
productive . Your weekly insight from LC's own man-about-Campus
by James Christie
Spending a serious amount of
time in a different culture, espe­
cially at the influential age of
twenty, can do weird things to
you. As some of you know, I was
in India last semester. I spent
three and a half months there
and I've been back to the states
for just as long but even now
pangs of culture shock hit me.
Culture shock seems to
be like acid. The first couple of
weeks after returning to the states
are like the initial trip. But instead
of seeing pretty rainbow colors or
unicorns that remind you that
God loves you-you walk about
the streets of your hometown in
utter disbelief about how women
are aloud outside or how your
homeland's media covers Afghani­
stan. After a few weeks everything
you find weird about homeland
becomes normal and the initial
trip ends.
Yet, culture shock just
like acid stays in your system
forever and flashbacks!
I'm sitting in the
library'S computer lab right now
having a flashback. It's the week
before spring break and every­
one around me looks stressed
out, serious, and worried.
On an intellectual level I
know why. They're working on
midterms, projects, or papers.
This is the week before spring
break and professors always
have assignments due before
that sacred week off of fun in
the sun and wretched MTV
specials, which make you
ashamed of being a member of
this generation.
I know I'm having a culture
shock flashback because being
surrounded by stressed out
people feels very weird. Their
state confuses me. I feel as if
there is something wrong with
me for not taking my projects
as seriously as they are. Of
course, I'm a SOlAN major.
Taking my studies seriously
would be silly. What I'm sup­
posed to take too seriously are
my socialist beliefs.
I wonder what would happen
if I went up to one of them and
screamed, "boo"7 Would this
push them over the edge into a
nervous breakdown? Would they
start crying? Or would they lob
one of their huge books at me?
Or maybe they're not as
stressed out as they seem 7 In
fact one of our fellow students,
who looks like Jesus, is sitting
at the computer next to me. He
looks calm.
"Do you read the bible?" I
ask my Jesus looking LC peer.
"No," he answers as he stops
typing on whatever assignment
he's working on.
"Do you think everyone
around us is stressed out7"
He looks around and thinks
for a bit. "Not particularly,
why?"
"Has anyone ever told you
that you look like John
Walker Lindh7" "Hey!"
'Tm sorry but whenever I see
one of you Jesus looking guys
walking around campus I always
get the urge to yell at one of you,
'curse thee for joining the Taliban',
or, 'I thought you were in jail for
plotting to kill Americans-what
gives? Ashcroft doesn't want to
make an example out of you any-
more?'"
Let us return to the
main subject at hand now that
I've just antagonized my J esus­
looking neighbor.
On second thought,
those around me don't seem as
stressed out as they did when I
began writing this although I
can still feel a slight tension in
the room. A tension created by
many of the minds around me
whispering, "This is extremely
important. What I do is ex­
tremely important." Oddly
enough I notice the tension in­
crease tenfold whenever I'm in
my home state of California.
Often my culture
shock flashbacks don't subside
as qUickly as this one did. Like
all those times gals have made
criticizing comments about
their body. I stare at them try­
ing to figure out why they
speak of themselves as if they
were deformed mutants.
"But you're beautiful," I usu­
ally say after the comment.
"No I'm not. .. look at how
big my toes are. My toes are so
hideous. I hate my toes."
"Guys don't care about your
toes."
"Yes they do. Do you know
how many people hate me be­
cause of my ugly toes?"
"People don't hate other
people just because they have
ugly toes. They only hate them
if they're fat."
"Well then I'm fat!"
"No you're not."
When I first returned to the
states I'd find myself getting stuck
in conversations like this for
hours. I found it impossible to not
act on my culture shock flash­
backs. No one I met in India hated
their body and I forgot that people
who hate their body existed.
People hating their bodies no
longer makes any sense. This is
doubly so when I'm having one of
my flashbacks.
I tried to communicate to
my femalt: friends how this
seemed so weird to me. I
wanted it to seem weird to
them too so they'd stop hating
themselves. Eventually I
learned that accomplishing this
would be next to impossible so
I now ignore the weirdness in-
. side whenever a gal makes a
demeaning coment about her
body.
"I need to lose five pounds.
I'd stop hating myself when­
ever I looked in the mirror if I
lost five pounds."
"Yeah whatever. Your body
is extremely important."
"What?"
"Oh I said your commodi­
ties are extremely important."

Softball keeps focus, despite rain
by Jeff Auxier
This coming week will be a
decisive one for Pio softball, as
the team tries to maintain focus
after a week long weather-in­
duced hiatus.
The 2002 softball squad
started the season with a pair of
doubleheader victories against
George Fox College, losses to
Eastern Oregon University and
St. Martin's College, and two "----The essence of the
game is being dirty all

I hate about the gym.

kryptonite of all Northwest dia­
mond sports, has caused the
postponement of four games and
bapished the squad to practices
in the Pamplin gymnasium . Confined to the gym, Coach Jennifer Piper throws batting practice. College, Huston Sports Com­
plex.
The transition from competi­
tive games to indoor confine­
ment has been a challenge for
the Pioneers.
"The essence of the game is
being dirty all the time. That's
what I hate a~out the gym," said
Jaymie Cox, sophomor.e first
baseman.
Nevertheless , the team recog­
nizes they must be prepared for
the next two weeks. The Pio­
neers will have to make up the
cancelled contests in addition to
the games already on the sched­
ule.
The result is a 17-game
stretch played in 14 days. The team is excited about this sea-
son, despite the coming on­
slaught.
"I think this team can beat
anyone we face," said Jennifer
Piper, the team's first-year coach.
Piper has been pleased with
her player'S performances so far
this season. Kyra Rohner, senior
catcher, has been consistent at
the plate with .296 average. She
has also connected for the team's
only triple.
The play of Kayla
Bewersdorff , freshman second
baseman , and Kim McBride, a
junior utility player, has also
been a surprise. Despite having
just two weeks of preparation after their 'basketball seasons,
the hoop stars have proven
themselves valiant at the plate.
McBride leads the team with a
.438 batting average and
Bewersdorf f is the team leader'
in runs batted in.
"They haven't had much
time, but they've stepped into
their roles and played great,"
said Piper. "They've came up
to the plate and made some
clutch plays for us."
The role of Jauna Williams ,
senior pitcher on this year's soft­
ball team may say it all. Al­
though every member of the
Pioneers has a big role in the
squad's success, there may be no player with more on her shoul­
ders than Williams . Injuries have
left Williams as the team's only
ace. Alone on the mound, much
of the Pioneers' success in the up­
coming softball marathon relies
on the strength of the all-confer­
ence pitcher'S arm.
"I just got to stay tough for my
team and do my job," said Will-
iams.
The Pioneers' head to Orange,
California this Sunday for eight
games in the Sun West Tourna­
ment, and play Willamette Fri­
day, March 29 in Salem. Their
next home game is at noon on
Saturday, March 30, against the
same team. Athletics quote of the
week:
"We can't stand UW. They
give a bad name to the sport.
They're not out there to have
fun, and they complain too
much." .

Mietus introduces the Cell Phone Posse
by John Mietus
I Editor's note: This past
February John Mietus, junior
t basketball star, requested that
f I allow him space to tell the I Lewis &: Clark community
! about his favorite people in
. the world, his teammates on
the men's basketball team.
Last issue Mietus' column
could not be printed. To any
loyal readers of Mietus' ar­
ticles, I promise this won't
happen again.-].A.
As many of you may already
know, Michael Kirkham , fresh­
man, is the proud owner of one
bright red 1966 Ford Mustang.
Be careful how you refer to
Mike's car, because if, for in­
stance, you call it a Camaro or a
Thunderbird or, best yet, an
IROC, you are sure to be on the
receiving end of the "Mustang
Lecture".
Mike of course means well
and actually has come to accept
that people are going to mislabel
his car once in a 'while, but the
fact remains that underneath the
courteous exterior lies a volcano
waiting to erupt.
Mike has become the focal
point of a group known as
Camaro Mike and the Cell
Phone Posse. This group of in­
dividuals , including Nate Kabanuck , sophomore, Josh
Green, sophomore, and Adam
Merino, freshman , can be seen
sitting together frequently in the
Bon, walking through lower
campus, or even out in the Port­
land club scene.
To fully understand this
group, we must understand each
of the individuals involved.
Have you been to the weight
room lately? Are you a rat ball
regu lar in the gym? If so you
probably have seen Kabanuck
from time to time.
Nate has become the minia­
ture Arnold Swarzenneger of our
campus, spending countless
hours in the gym toning the rip­
pling ship of desire he calls a
body.
The way to spot Kabanuck is
to look for the cutoff Tommy
Hilfiger T-shirt that he proudly
dons upon entering the weight
room. The shirt that appears to
be slightly too small for him.
If you want to meet Nate all
you have to do is shout, "Hey
McGrath!" in his general direc­
tion. Kabanuck has been aptly
nicknam ed McGrath due to his
obvious resemblance to the very
sexy leader of the band Sugar
Ray.
The third member of the
group, Green, has a much more
relaxed approach to LC than
10 Pioneer Log March 22, 2002 Kabanuck. An avid video game
fan, Green may appear to have
anything but school on his
mind.
However this has recently
changed as Green has become
a fixture on the Lewis &: Clark
library scene. Whether this is a
full time switch to the more stu­
dious lifestyle remains to be
seen.
The final posse member,
Adam Merino, has matured into
his own man during the course
of the year. At the beginning of
the year, many members of the
basketball team were skeptical
of Merino, believing they had
seen a second coming of
Kabanuck .
However , Merino has sepa­
rated himself from this
longstanding tradition by
openly criticizing the behavior
of other Cell Phone Posse mem­
bers. In particular , Merino dis­
dains the way Kabanuck and
Kirkham refer to each other by
the cute nicknames "Pizzle" and
"Dizzle", respectively.
"Are we in college? Well are
we?" asks Merino.
As in any great posse, the
sum of Camaro Mike and the
Cell Phone Posse is better than
its parts. With that in mind I
decided to interview this mys­
terious group as a whole. The follOwing is what transpired:
J .M.-Did Josh look like
Ludacris with his hair in
cornrows?
c.P.P.-Either Ludacris or
Snoop Dogg
].M.-Belter band: Radiohead
or The Strokes? c.PP.-Who?
].M.-Better looking actress:
Claire Forlani or Jennifer
Connelly?
c.pp-What the fuck?
].M.-Who is the leader of the
group?
c.pp-Get out of here clown!
Hoops: Final Four
dreams are over
by Zach Mann
To be the best you have to
beat the best.
It just so happened that the
best ended a courageous run at
the NCAA Division III Sectional
Championship in Wisconsin for
the Lewis &: Clark men's basket­
ball team.
Reaching the Elite Eight af­
ter a convincing 78-71 win over
Wisconsin Oshkosh , Carthage
College, the number one-ranked
team in the country grounded
the high flying Pios 85-70 in the
Sectional Championship game.
Carthage not only played this
game on their home court but
the previous one as well, leav­
ing the arduous traveling to the
Pioneers.
Having a season record of 29-1, the Redmen received their
well deserved royal treatment.
With a victory the night be­
fore, the Pios had momentum
and were thinking upset. The
underdog Pioneers were unable
to overcome a 37-34 halftime
deficit and a strong push near
the end by the Redmen.
After cutting the lead to five
with just under three minutes
to play, Carthage finished the
game on a free-throw-plagued
12-2 run relinqUishing any
hopes of a comeback. Colin
Oriard led the Pios with 20
points.
Scott Davis ended his hall of
fame career with 16 points and
John Mietus also added 16
points and 9 rebounds, a team
high. • r

While traditional sports reap
the majority of the press, Lewis
&. Clark College 's Ultimate
Frisbee team may be the
College'S most popular. It may.
also be one of its best.
For many reasons, Ultimate
Frisbee at LC has grown to be
one of the campus' most popu­
lar athletic endeavors. The coed
team is open to all willing par­
ticipants , and Milwaukee 's Best
lee lines the sidelines for thirsty
players.
The team nam ~~G<>l1-us ,
honors the Gr~~k God'of wine,
and jerseys advertise the Fulton
Pub, the team's sponsor.
Furthermore , within the
group's laid-back exterior lies
one or the most powerful ulti­
mate squads in the Northwest.
Noah David and ick
Heppenstall arc just two mem­
bers of a solid core or juniors
that, when combined with fresh­
men Patrick Law and Courtney
Dale, make up the backbone of
a team predicted to win this
year's ectional l"inals.
"We've got the right players,"
said David. "We just got to have
everybody giving their all."
Earl ier this season the team
overwhelmed competitors at the
Reed Tournament and brought
home the first place trophy.
They were also crowned cham­
pions at the Linfield Halloween
Tourname nt this past Fall.
Bacchus stays competitive
against bigger teams with a com­
bination of quickness and skill. • I Ie IS
I Cooler?
Linnae Beckett charges down the field.
"Our team is based around
speed and finesse, rather than
height and strength," said David.
Bacchus' success is also due
to a secret faculty connection .
Watzek reference librarian Dan
"DK" Kelley has become
Bacchus' spiritual guide on the
road to flying-diSC fame.
Kelley, a veteran of top-flight national-caliber teams, occa­
sionally drops by practices to
give pointers.
"He knows everything about
the game," said David.
LC's Bacchus will compete at
the college sectiona ls in
Corvallis April 13 and 14. The
sectional champion will play in
Santa Cruz, California. , I Despite Lewis &. Clark College's notoriety as a school unin­
terested in varsity sports, basketball games in the past month
have been attended by raging mobs of hoop-crazy hooligans .
Perhaps LC is more of a Fresno State than we thought. Never­
theless, the accompanying article suggests that ultimate frisbee, ! a sport known for a more rustic set of participants, is still I quite the rage. The Pioneer Log decided to get to the bottom of
I this identi.ty crisis. In this i.ssue, the sports section asks, "Which I is cooler, Ultimate Frisbee or basketball? "

any sport that's 'uUi

Ever wonder where our base­
ball and softball teams play? And
what about the track team' Why
don't we ever have a home track
meet'
These, and many more press­
ing questions , can be answered
by examining the extent of Lewis
&. Clark College's athletic facili­
ties, and what future develop­
ment and renovation plans are
in the works.
LC's sports facilities presently
consist of Pamplin Sports Cen­
ter, Zehntbauer Swimming Pa­
vilion, Griswold Stadium,
Huston Sports Complex, the ten­
nis dome, estate courts, and the
sailing dock for the crew team.
Sounds like a lot, right? But
we're still missing some things,
like a racquetball court that was
lost to the heating and cooling
plant, and a throwing field that
was paved over [or a parking lot.
The latter is the main reason
why fans can't ever root for the
track team at home.
Steve Wallo, LC's Athletic
Director, said, "Probably the big­
gest thing that's missing right
now for intercollegiate sports is
throwing space for track and
field. "
The College hopes to fill this
void by building a large throw­
ing field at the Huston Sports
Complex. This site now consists
of only baseball and softball
fields, but several more acres are
available for development.
The large field would not only serve the throwers (and enable
home track meets), but would be
a multipurpose field for fall
sports practices , such as soccer.
Amenities, such as more park­
ing and restrooms, will also need
to be added.
Although this would be a
workable situation for several
years, the ultimate solution in­
volves acquiring property just
north of Griswold stadium.
The College'S Master Plan in­
cludes developing 10-30 acres of
that property into several large
playing fields. This plan would
center LC's sports facilities in
one main area.
"Our needs are more square
footage, and the College'S Mas­
ter Plan addresses that," Wallo
said.
According to Wallo, however,
legal, political, permitting, and
financial restrictions mean this
is a long term projection.
Lights for the football field,
on the other hand, will come
sooner.
"lnstalling lights is, essen­
tially, equal to creating another
field for intercollegiate sports,"
said Wallo.
The expanded available play­
ing time could also mean room
for a varsity women's soccer
team.
Although there is no concrete
date set for light installation , the
plans to renovate 'the training
room in Pamplin will commence
this summer.
Wallo explained that athletes
often skip treatment to avoid the overcrowded faCility. The expan­
sion of this space will ensure
quality care for top athletic per­
formance.
Although these lhree devel­
opment plans top the list, Wallo
cited many other projects the
Athletic department would like
to see happen, the most press­
ing of which is combining the
crew space and sailing dock into
one location on the same side of
the river. An expanded women's
locker room, more multipurpo se
space, and an indoor hilling cage
are also forecasted. These last
proposals could all be housed in
a second gym, often called a field
house, that could also include an
indoor jog-"As far as objec~
tives, basketball is
way more sexual.
But you can't step
to something that's
called the 'ulti­
mate' ."
-Eric Miller,

"We're the
only school in Fifteenth Annual
OREGON PROFESSIONAL

our confer-
ence that only
has one gym,"
Wallo said.
Many of
these wishes
would be
granted under
the Master
Plan, which ~s
"just a matter
of timing and
prioritizing , "
